A component of The Utility Company’s vision

This platform is a component of the shared operating system we're building at The Utility Company—practical, AI‑assisted tools that power finance and operations across every subsidiary. By standardizing budgets, approvals, and reporting, we compound learnings across the portfolio and give teams clarity and control.

Our thesis is simple: most back‑office work is largely the same—procure‑to‑pay, order‑to‑cash, payroll, approvals, and reporting—with predictable nuances by sector, scale, and policy. With AI, those nuances can be modeled as policies, prompts, and data mappings, letting us standardize the core while adapting the edges. The result is a common standard that delivers efficient operations today and enables continuous process optimization over time—capabilities that have historically been costly and inaccessible to small and medium enterprises.

Architecturally, we compose experiences hierarchically—modules → panels → modals. Modules capture domains like Inventory, Scheduling, Robotics, and Hospitality (HostPro). Panels provide the primary workflows and surfaces for data and decisions. Modals focus on precise actions—edits, approvals, reconciliations. This structure lets us encode industry‑specific nuance as configuration (policies, roles, schemas) rather than forks, so we can adapt the platform to new verticals in days instead of months.

Under the hood, our stack pairs a modern web runtime with production‑grade data and AI: Next.js and React; Tailwind CSS and Radix UI; GraphQL; MongoDB; gRPC; LangChain/OpenAI; OCR; PDF and spreadsheet tooling; drag‑and‑drop; charting; and secure authentication.

Who uses it? Operators in restaurants and hospitality (menu, orders, seating), inventory‑heavy businesses, robotics and field fleets, and services teams that need approvals, scheduling, and reporting—all benefiting from a common standard that learns across contexts.
